“Not everyone wants to be on stage. Maybe they had a fight?”

Roman nodded, looking up when Glade stepped over to them. He greeted the older man. “Well?”

Glade grinned, the look on his face slightly unnerving as he finally focused on Roman again. “It would appear your partners know how to put on a show. I haven’t seen a man come that hard in years. She has quite the wicked mouth.”

Roman wrapped his arm around her. “That she does.”

Glade motioned to Aiden. “Perhaps you two gentlemen will give us an equally good display later? Based on that kiss that first night, I assume you two are lovers, as well.”

“Of course. We just figured the purpose of the gathering was to showcase our girl.” Roman ran his fingers through the ends of her hair. “After all, it’s her ass everyone wants to see.”

“Not just her ass.” He took a step back. “Lovely seeing the three of you again. Enjoy the rest of your day.”

He wandered off, whistling to himself.

Roman frowned, shaking his head before turning back to them. His gaze fell to the cloth, his vein pulsing again. He grabbed Scarlet by the waist, tugging her tight against him as he smoothed one hand over her buttocks, squeezing her flesh. “You’d best get your ass back to our room before I fucking mount you right here, because, darling, I’m one breath away from completely losing control.” He nodded at Aiden. “You, too, or we really will give these folks a show.”

Roman wove his fingers through hers and headed out with Aiden bringing up the rear. The man’s hand never left the small of her back, and she had a hunch that both men were feeling more than a little possessive right now. And if their pace was any indication, she was in for one hell of a ride.

Chapter Seven

Roman tugged Scarlet behind him, every thought centered on reaching their room and finally loving her the way he’d been envisioning for the past three months. Hell, the past two years. Only this time, it wouldn’t be a fantasy. It wouldn’t end with his hand around his dick, calling her name to nothing but the splash of the water against the shower wall. And he wouldn’t be alone.

The steady footfalls of Aiden behind him only increased the need hammering at Roman’s head. They’d never shared a woman—never wanted another to join them—other than Scarlet. And he knew his buddy was just as invested as he was. Roman could tell by the way Aiden had looked at him from the stage, the man’s cum still smeared on Scarlet’s chest. Aiden wasn’t the sort of guy to embrace public displays, but he’d pushed aside his own feelings to spare Scarlet hers. And Roman loved the man more for that simple sacrifice.

He stopped at their room, opening the door with a twist of the key in the lock. Roman liked the nostalgic feel of a key—the comforting weight of it in his pocket—and was glad Glade hadn’t opted to modernize his old mansion in that particular fashion. It also meant picking locks was a viable option if needed.

The old door creaked open, swinging against the wall as Roman marched inside and turned once he’d cleared the doorway. A throaty moan was all the warning he gave Scarlet before backing her into Aiden’s chest. Her breath left her on a hiss as he pressed his body against hers, leaving just enough room for Aiden’s hands to cup her waist. A low hum accompanied Roman’s touch as he smoothed his fingers up her ribcage, stopping just below her breasts.

She forced in a quick breath, her heart beating a tattoo beneath his hands. “Roman—”

He cut her off with a single finger pressed to her lips. He moved impossibly closer, brushing his chest across her nipples. Her head fell back against Aiden’s shoulder as the light motion tightened the tiny buds further, pushing them out against the thin material. Roman smiled, flicking his thumb over one turgid peak as he lowered his lips to her neck.

“There’s not a doubt in my mind that you want this. Need it as much as we do. But I promised not to rush you, and if you’re not ready to move beyond what we’ve already shared—if you need more time before we take you into our bed—I’ll respect that, but…”

He sighed, feathering his breath across her skin. She arched into him, clenching her jaw as he scraped his teeth along the hollow of her shoulder.

He ended it with a light bite before meeting her gaze again. “I need you. We both do. So damn much it hurts.”

She kissed the finger still pressed to her lips, tracing the line of his jaw before tunneling her hands through his hair. She guided his head closer to hers, nipping at his bottom lip. “I need you and Aiden, too. Now I believe you mentioned something about losing control.”

“Dangerous challenge, darling, especially when you know how close to the edge we are.” He dropped a soft kiss behind her ear, smiling at her whispered gasp. “But if you truly trust us, we’ll show you how we’ve been dreaming of loving you all this time.”

He nodded at Aiden, smiling when the man lifted his hand, cupping one breast and holding it out to Roman.

He held her gaze as he dipped down, laving her nipple through her skimpy top before using his teeth and holding the nub captive. He bit down just enough to make her moan, before releasing and raising his face level with hers. He brushed his lips across hers, tasting her anticipation. The scent of her desire wafted around them, stronger than when they’d left their room earlier, and he couldn’t wait for her reply. Her mouth was too close, her lips too damn full to wait. He slanted over her, testing their softness, forcing himself to go slowly. If this was going to work—be something more permanent than a few days away from the rest of the world—he and Aiden needed to seduce her into their bed. Lure her with tempting touches and fleeting caresses designed to leave her wanting more. Though he knew she was committed to them, actually making love to both of them was a huge step. No matter how much she wanted it.

She hesitated, her lips touching his, her breath a sweet bounty of chocolate and spice. He hedged his bet, tracing her bottom lip with his tongue, dipping just the tip inside her mouth. A breathy little whimper was the only indication he’d won before her hands curled around his neck, raking through his hair.

Roman moaned his victory, plunging his tongue inside her wet heat, using Aiden’s shoulder to tilt her back and deepen the kiss. His lover growled, shifting his hands to cover her breasts, finding just the right amount of pressure with his fingers to make her groan into Roman’s mouth. Roman pulled back, watching her eyelids flutter open, her lips still parted, the edges wet and swollen. She moaned again when Aiden tweaked her nipples harder.

Roman gazed down at her. “So is that an unequivocal yes?”

Scarlet tilted her head back to look at Aiden. He dipped down, brushing his lips across hers, tracing their fullness with his tongue. He eased away when she tried to kiss him, his smile causing the breath to hiss from her chest.

Aiden quirked an eyebrow. “We need to know you’re ready. This is more than a tumble in the sheets. I’ve already told you. Roman and I want you in our lives—permanently. If you have even the slightest doubt that now is the time to take this next step…”

“I’m more than ready. But I won’t lie. I’ve never…” She sighed. “I’m just a bit nervous what you…what you both expect of me. Once we’re all in the heat of things, and…” A deep flush laced down her chest. “I don’t want to disappoint you. What if I don’t live up to your fantasies?”

“No fucking way. Just holding you like this, having you sleep beside us, is better than anything we’ve conjured up in our dreams.”

A slow smile spread across her face. “Then stop questioning me and make love to me.” She shook her finger when Roman rimmed her shorts. “Not so fast,
lover
. I want a chance to taste you first, Roman. Aiden just allowed me that pleasure—however unconventional it was—and as I recall, you denied me three months ago. I won’t be denied again.” She smoothed her hands along his shoulders, smiling at the twitch of his muscles. “Do we have a deal?”

Scarlet’s heart thrummed as Roman narrowed his eyes, his breath a rough caress across her neck. He hesitated for a few, agonizing heartbeats, then smiled, slowly easing away. He raised his hands, palms up, allowing her to switch their positions, pushing him against the wall as she moved in front, Aiden shadowing her every move. She swept her gaze down the length of his body, determined to discover every inch of him. Though they’d made love in that damn studio, she’d yet to knead his muscles with her fingers. Feel his skin glide beneath hers. He’d claimed her, and she needed to do the same in return.

Scarlet released her breath, shifting her gaze to Aiden, flashing him an inviting smile before sliding her hands down to Roman’s waist. The sharp hiss of metal echoed her moan as she lowered his zipper, freeing his erection. He looked even larger than she remembered, and both men groaned as she traced a single finger along his length, making the head flare beneath her gentle touch.

“Pants, baby. Now.” She turned to Aiden, watching his eyes flicker between Roman’s shaft and her. “You, too. Or were you just going to watch this round? Admire from afar as Roman did in the parlor?”

“No fucking way.” He fisted the rough material, tearing the seam in his rush to strip them off.

Scarlet purred. The men were alike in so many ways. Both had thick rippling muscles, tight little asses and cocks that would make any woman drool. She smiled as they tossed their clothes to the ground, bracketing her between them. Aiden released the clasps of her top, letting it fall as Roman pushed her shorts over the curve of her ass, dropping the material at her feet. A chorus of moans had her clenching her thighs, hoping to keep her juice from dripping on the floor.

Aiden eased forward skimming his lips down the curve of her neck. “That’s how Roman wants you, baby. Naked. Wet. So hot for his cock you can’t see straight. Now kneel in front of him but make sure you keep those sexy legs nice and wide. He’ll want to see what he does to you…what we both do to you. I didn’t get the luxury of having you do that on stage. Didn’t want you to reveal more of your sexy body so those other men could see what’s ours. And you
are
ours. Make no mistake. From this moment forward, you belong to us as much as we do to you.”

Scarlet tiptoed up, kissing the rough stubble on Aiden’s chin.” Wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m done running from you boys. Now stop talking and put that mouth to good use.”

“Fuck!”

Aiden crushed his mouth on hers, the kiss hard. Demanding. He didn’t stop until she surrendered complete control to him, her chest heaving frantically by the time he finally eased back. He gave her ass a light tap before turning her to back to face Roman. Aiden cupped her waist as he lowered them both to the floor, settling her between his thighs. Roman’s dick arched proudly toward her face, the tip glistening with evidence of his arousal. She leaned forward, breathing in his heady scent. Although slightly different than Aiden’s, it reminded her of fire and spice and she didn’t wait for his invitation. She distended her tongue, bathing the head with long, slow pulls, humming at the exquisite taste of him.

Roman grunted, tracing one finger along her cheek. “Goddamn, Scarlet. You keep licking me like that and I won’t last a minute.”

She smiled up at him, taking just the head inside her wet heat before pulling back and nipping at the plump crown. “That works for me. Maybe Aiden would like a repeat performance?”

Aiden chuckled against her neck, tweaking one nipple. “Wench. What I need is to fuck you. But we’ll get there in time. For now, concentrate on Roman. Imagine how he felt watching you lick me. Taking me deep to the back of your throat, knowing every other man in the room wanted to be me. To be close enough they could smell your desire, just as we can now. And you smell delicious.”

Aiden’s words made her pussy clench, the empty sensation fluttering need through her core. She used Roman to stem that feeling, sinking half his length inside her mouth. Roman grunted, threading his fingers through her hair, tugging on the long strands just enough to cause a slight sting. She moaned around his cock as Aiden smoothed his hands down her torso, letting them settle on her thighs.

“Open wider, baby. We can’t see that beautiful pussy near enough.”

She did as he asked, spreading her knees farther apart, giving them a clear view of her sex, and her arousal. It slid along her inner lips, a small amount easing down one thigh. Roman cursed and tightened his hold as Aiden nipped at the side of her neck.

“Nice.” Aiden, trailed his hand up her groin, gathering some of her cream on his fingers. He smiled as he brought them to his mouth, sucking off her juice.

Scarlet released Roman’s cock, dragging Aiden to her with a curl of her fingers. He took her challenge, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, claiming her as Roman had their first time. She matched his hunger, shadowing his mouth until her lungs burned, and she pulled back.

“He tastes good on you. But I knew he would.” Aiden smiled, nodding at the juice trailing down her thighs. ’Soon,’ he mouthed, motioning back to his lover’s shaft.

She licked her lips, devouring Roman’s cock, swallowing his thick length in one determined motion. He was slightly bigger than Aiden, the large width barely fitting inside her mouth. She relaxed her muscles, working him deeper, knowing the pressure would increase his need.

His abdominal muscles clenched, outlining the bands cording beneath his flesh. “Yeah, darling. Just like that.”

His voice echoed in her head, his fingers still caressing her scalp. Aiden shifted closer, teasing the edge of her sex, dipping just the tip of his finger inside her. She closed her eyes, loving the feel of Roman’s cock sliding along her tongue as Aiden caressed her body, spreading traces of her juice across her nipples and stomach, as if he intended to lick it clean later.

Aiden leaned in beside her, kissing the side of her mouth. She paused when his tongue caressed her lips, flicking over Roman’s cock as she moved up and down his length. She eased Roman’s shaft free as she pressed back on her heels, holding his cock out to Aiden, arching her eyebrow in challenge. Aiden accepted, shifting forward, sampling his lover’s crown with such feral intent she had to stop herself from coming on the spot. The act was erotic and hot and she loved watching the men interact.
